Keeping Your Cat Entertained

Tag Archives: DVDs for cats

Did you know that cats can get bored? We know, Fluffy loves doing as little as possible, so boredom may not seem like a big concern for our feline friends. However, in order to keep your pet happy and content, you’ll need to make sure she is getting enough stimulation. Read on as a Fort Collins, CO vet discusses kitty entertainment options.

Playthings

First of all, make sure that Fluffy has lots of fun toys to push under the couch. There are now some very cute modern toys for kitties. You can spoil your pet with catnip bubbles, robotic mice, or automated laser pointers. You can even download apps for your furball to play with on a phone or tablet! We also recommend taking time to play with Fluffy daily.

DVDs

Did you know that you can get DVDs made just for kitties? Fluffy may really enjoy watching documentaries about birds, fish, or squirrels. Hockey is also popular with some of our feline friends. Of course, your pet’s purrsonality will determine whether this is a good option. Some cats will watch TV for hours. Others won’t pay attention at all.

Kitty Garden

Give your feline pal a taste of nature by setting out some kitty safe plants for her to nibble on and hide behind. Some good options are Rubber tree plants, Boston ferns, Money plants, and Ponytail palms. You can find more nontoxic plants at the ASPCA website here.

Purrniture

Fluffy will really enjoy having some pieces of her own. Choose things that encourage healthy activities like climbing and jumping. If you have a super-frisky feline, look into wall-mounted furniture, or get your kitty a fun activity center.

Window View

Even if your furball wouldn’t know what to do if a mouse ran out in front of her, she’ll still enjoy watching birds and squirrels. Offer your pet a comfy window seat. This allows Fluffy to combine three of her favorite things: sunbathing, napping, and spying!

Playmates

If your kitty is young, and is an only pet, she may enjoy having a buddy to play with. Of course, there are many things to consider before adopting another cat, including Fluffy’s age, history, and temperament. Ask your vet for specific recommendations.
